*1999 Santander, Spain.
Based in Munich, Germany.
Carmen Arias’ work is defined by a sculptural approach, often combined with spoken text or performative activations. Her pieces explore the relationship between the city and its users, focusing on specific real-life examples. Questioning the aspect and function of urban landscapes is a recurring motif in her work that she presents through site-specific interventions or by reproducing and dislocating elements of these landscapes into the exhibition space.
Her process involves casting shapes and reinterpreting industrial methods within a more delicate, craft-oriented approach. Concrete, plaster, and ceramics are some of the materials that frequently appear in her sculptural work, making a reference to the casting techniques and architectural constructions that she conceptually thematises.
She holds a degree in Fine Arts by the Universidad Complutense de Madrid and is currently coursing her last semester at the Akademie der Bildenden Künste München in the sculpture class of Gabriel Kuri.
